100% of the artists involved will feel like they told their stories in a process that felt healing, safe, and rewarding. 95% of the audience surveyed will feel like their understanding of what theatre is and can be as well as the impact it can have has shifted. Gadfly will survey audience and artists as well as solicit post-performance feedback. We will also encourage artists and audiences to stay engaged moving forward and continue offering us insight and feedback.
400+ audience members came to see queer art, and we did not receive any negative feedback. Survey results and post-show discussions showed that the audience really loved this production and wanted to see these marginalized artists again. This process was collaborative, affirming and emotionally healing for 100% artists involved as indicated in post-show conversations.
